To Iran and the sleeper Quds all over the world. When you start blowing shit up in Europe and America, can you start with buildings and golf course that bare the Trump name first. TIA

Behold the arithmetic of empire. A $3M missile fired from a $200M jet burning $20k an hour to kill people living on less than $10 a day. Yet a $6 SNAP meal for the poor is “wasteful spending”. Apparently hunger is the real threat to the economy. Not war. Not bombs. Hunger.

February’s reading took me from Macondo to medieval England, from the Renaissance to total war, and into the quiet endurance of illuminated manuscripts. Five books. Seven centuries. Four books. New post substack.com/@jonbiddle1/... #Literature #History #TheEntanglementOfPower

The Crowd, the Printing Press, and the Fool

From Macondo to Medieval England, from Renaissance Florence to Nazi Berlin, a month of reading that asks whether we ever truly change.

We don’t even have to wait for Election Day to get real results from applying political pressure. Just look at how even Republican Members of Congress defied this president's attempt to hide the Epstein files.

The Green Party had my vote until I saw Zak Polanski say on LBC that his long term plan is to leave NATO. I won’t be voting for the Green Party until this stance is changed! #greenparty #zakpolanski #britishpoliticd

The Atlantic piece on Stephen Miller is chilling because it’s deliberate. This isn’t chaos around Donald Trump, it’s intent. Fringe ideas laundered into policy. Immigration as invasion. Rights as conditional. Authoritarianism arrives quietly, then settles in. #trump #miller #fascism

Tommy Robinson outside the Iranian embassy isn’t solidarity, it’s ignorance. The uprising isn’t about erasing Islam. It’s about escaping a regime that fused religion with power. Many protesters are Muslim. They reject coercion, not faith. Using their courage to fuel hate is opportunism. #iran #idiot

Asylum costs about £5 to £6bn a year. Utilities and privatisation have drained £200bn. Forty times bigger. Migrants did not hike your bills or dump sewage in rivers. Water and energy companies did. Aim your anger at the real waste. #AsylumFacts #FollowTheMoney #RealWaste

If only Reform, Tommy Robinson and his ilk focussed their attention to something like this, to bring tangible change. Imagine what 110k of people demanding the heads of the CEO’s of the public utilities would do. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m no trade expert, but this doesn’t feel like a win for Europe. More like dodging a bullet while still being held at gunpoint. Trump’s tariff tantrums have already warped the playing field.

He was high. He had a gun. He robbed a fast food joint. Those are facts. But serving life on a technicality under an IPP sentence? That’s not justice. That’s a system drunk on its own cruelty. Reform isn’t optional. It’s overdue. IPP #PrisonReform #JusticeMatters www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Doctors may get student debt relief. Fine. But what about nurses? ODPs? Paramedics? It’s time we stopped feeding the Treasury and started demanding tax relief or debt forgiveness for all NHS staff. We hold the line too. #NursesMatter #DebtReliefNow #WesStreeting #NHS #TaxJustice

I would be ashamed not to stand up for trans folks, not just because there are trans folks I like and love, but because everyone should get to live with the same personal freedom and dignity I get simply for existing. Who are we if we do not wish for others every right and privilege we have.

Geoffrey Epstein took one look at all that missing evidence, the broken cameras, the sleeping guards, and thought, “You know what? Time to hang myself.” Lucky for the rich, guilt dies with the witness. #EpsteinDidntKillHimself #SuicidedByTheSystem #PrinceAndrewSweatsNow #TrumpKnew

Trump claims he’s the ‘second coming’, ‘king of Israel’, and ‘the chosen one’. Most people spouting that get sectioned under the Mental Health Act. He’s got the nuclear codes. This isn’t politics—it’s an episode of Black Mirror. #Trump #MAGA #NuclearCodes #MentalHealth #Authoritarianism

Andrew Tate for PM? Backed by Musk? You don’t run for PM in the UK, sunshine. You become an MP, lead a party, win a majority. And Tate’s barred if convicted. If he makes it to No.10, I’ll develop the first male period in history. #UKPolitics #AndrewTate #ElonMusk #Satire #BritishPolitics #No10

Liz Truss taught us about the “moron premium”—when markets punish a country for electing an idiot. Now imagine Trump 2.0. The pound wobbled under Truss. The dollar could collapse under Trump. The cost of chaos is real. And this time, the whole world pays. #MoronPremium #Trump

Tesla up 22%. Biotech rallies. Trump U-turns on tariffs—again. But who moved before the news? Feels less like a market, more like insider theatre. America’s not investing—it’s gambling. And the house? Wears a red tie. #Trump #StockMarket #InsiderTrading #Uninvestable

Elon Musk’s $427B fortune = $400K/day for 3,000 years—since 875 BC. Meanwhile, $6.6B could feed 42M for a year. Innovation is vital, but not at the cost of leaving millions hungry. Let’s rethink priorities. 🌍💔 📖 Read more open.substack.com/pub/jbiddle/... #WealthGap #FairerWorld #EndHunger

In the annals of folly, appointing a man besieged by allegations and disdainful of female warriors to lead the USA’s valiant forces is a blunder of historic proportions. The defense of the free world nation demands integrity, not incompetence. #LeadershipMatters #petehegseth
